Have you ever had a souffle? Better yet, have you ever made a souffle? This Crock Pot Cheese Souffle fromGooseberry Patch’sSlow-Cooker Christmas Favoritesis so simple and delicious!
Aunt Lou here.
I have always heard of souffle and always thought it sounded quite fancy. This country girl had never had one and definitely hadn’t made one. To be honest, it always intimidated me a bit. I mean, it sounds like something that would be ordered at a fancy business meal.

Crock Pot Cheese Souffle
When I saw this Crock Pot Cheese Souffle, I just took a look at the recipe out of curiosity. I was more than pleasantly surprised to see that it is really easy to make and sounded really good!
With my first taste, I was in love. Then Ryder came over, and I had to share…and by share I mean practically give him the rest of my piece. Ah well, I love it when he loves a new recipe!
I used myHamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cookerfor this one, so clean up was easy, peasy, lemon squeezy! Your favorite 5-6 quart slow cooker should work just fine.

Could you use the casserole crock pot for this? Looks awesome.

Hi Sue!
I haven’t tried this recipe in my casserole crock pot, but think it could work. If your unit does not cook evenly, make sure you rotate the insert halfway through cooking so that it cooks evenly. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

You want a good melter with a low water content. That means a semifirm cheese that can be grated into shreds, like Gruyère or cheddar. I tend to reach for Gruyère because it's often used in classic French cooking and also one of my personal favorite cheeses.
If the egg whites are not mixed enough, they will be too heavy to rise, but if they are over-whipped they will collapse in the oven. Finally, and most problematically, any cross-contamination between yolks and whites will cause the whole concoction to collapse, which is the bane of many dessert chefs' days.
You can fit four or five 3-inch (6-ounce) ramekins into a 6-quart oval slow cooker without having them touch each other. You use ramekins for baking muffins, cupcakes, and individual custards. You can sit a good-sized bread or loaf pan (9¼” x 5¼” x 2¾” -or smaller) on the floor of most 6-quart oval slow cookers.
According to La Varenne Practique (a timeless masterwork you should consider owning if learning more about classic French cooking appeals), there are only a few critical points to perfecting a souffle: a base of the right consistency, stiff egg whites, and the careful folding of the base and the beaten whites.
Most can sit for up to 30 minutes before baking. Others can even be prepared hours in advance. The key is in the ingredients. The lighter the base mixture, the longer it will hold.
A soufflé is made up of a base (usually white sauce or creme patissiere enriched with egg yolks), a flavor (added to the base) and whipped egg whites gently folded in and baked in the oven. While it's cooking, the air trapped in the egg whites expands, causing it to rise.
A soufflé is an indulgent dish made by lightening a base of sugar and egg yolks with whipped egg whites and baking until tall and puffed. As it bakes, the egg whites expand with air, allowing it to rise.
You can make souffles ahead of time in two ways. Bake them once as below and then freeze, defrost thoroughly and rebake. The mixture is also forgiving enough to be stored in a fridge for up to two days before baking again when you are ready to serve.
Cheese soufflés with apple, walnut and pomegranate salad
The soufflés are firstly steamed – you can then refrigerate them and bake them in the oven just before sitting down with guests. The apple, walnut and pomegranate salad is a wonderful side in this cheese soufflé recipe, but would be beautiful on its own too.
Souffle may be made up ahead and refrigerated as long as 24 hours. Put souffle in cold oven and bake 50 minutes at 325 degrees. It can also be frozen up to 7 days.
Slow cooker liners are simply plastic bags that cover the surface of the Crock-Pot while you cook, which prevents food from clinging to it. Here's everything you need to know about this affordable, time-saving accessory.
Slow cookers are the set-it-and-forget-it heroes of the kitchen. If your favorite casseroles, soups and braised meat recipes are designed for the oven or stovetop, you can easily cook them in the slow cooker instead.
The next best option is to place your slow cooker on a baking sheet, a silicone baking mat, or a large wooden cutting board. All of these heat-resistant surfaces can also withstand moisture to prevent damage to your countertops.
Japanese soufflé pancakes start with the same ingredients as American varieties — namely, eggs, flour and milk — but they tower above traditional diner versions thanks to the addition of extra egg whites.
Souffle Logic: A soufflé is made up of three elements: A base sauce enriched with egg yolks (pastry cream for sweet, béchamel for savory), a filling (anything from cheese to chocolate), and whipped egg whites.
There are all kinds of soufflé, yet what they all share in common is their two constituent parts: a base made of flavored cream sauce or puree and a soft meringue made of beaten egg whites. The base of a soufflé gives it its flavor, while the meringue gives it its texture.
